It sounds like the circus has moved to the courtroom. What a pair those siblings must be.

I would buy popcorn to get a front row seat for that entire trial

Paging Johnathan Lee Riches. Please pick up the gilded courtesy phone.

Court was a regular 3 ring circus

Subby RTFA next time, she is suing for this FTA:

Karen Feld is suing her brother for $110 million because she says his security guards assaulted and injured her when they forcibly removed her from their aunt's shiva, or Jewish memorial service, in September 2007. Kenneth Feld is countersuing for trespass. He says she tried to sneak into an off-limits room and launched into an obscenity-filled tirade when guards barred her way and then escorted her out.


She wants a 9 digit settlement for being tossed out of an Aunt's funeral basically.

/oy vey with the shiva and the pushing of the sister already.

You can't say Schoolhouse Rock didn't warn us: (new window)

2wolves: Send in the clowns.

Sounds like they're already there.

came for the family circus jokes, guess i'm a bit early. maybe no-one noticed the "circus family" bit in the article. would've been funny if someone had posted one of those stupid drawings with a joke they just made up about the article.

She testified she was able to call off the engagement after she walked in on her father and her betrothed having sex during a family vacation to Europe.

WHAT!?!?!? An oversized freight train rams its way into some chocolate tunnel and she calls the entire thing off!?!?!?!?

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.

where are the clowns .. send in the clowns

Bill Keane does not approve.

Rufus Lee King: Hey! You're in a Court, not in Clancy's Pool Hall!

Drop the vernacular!

Anyone refers to me as 'Mrs.' loses a finger. Only things I got out of this doctoral shindig were my title and my student loans.

Lighten up, Mrs. Francis. With a sentiment as farked up as yours I'll guess you're a psychiatrist.

Dr. of Philosophy.

Between the Felds and the Mars family , I don't know who's crazier.

The Felds are responsible for Disney on Ice, too.

I saw one with my son not that long ago. Seeing it as an adult, I became keenly aware that whoever put the show together was able to make Disney sell-out even more than usual. Whoever put it together must have had a pathological hatred of their parents.

I saw David Kelley sitting in the back of the courtroom with a legal pad on his lap.

Mr. Budd? No, sir! It is Master Budd, if you please!

She walked in on her dad screwing her fiance`, and the most shocking part of the story is that she doesn't like being called "Mrs."?

Really?

There's one born every minute.

There is a lot of sadness in there, Mom offed herself, Dad was a real class act. Makes you wonder if the son is crazy too.

Well, what do you expect? Circus folk... small hands, scent of cabbage, you get the drift.

the aristocrats?

we'refromthesamestory: and Ms is disrespectful in todays world

Why is that? What was its presumably acceptable connotation in yesterday's world?

Oh, sorry, I have a cold.

Kenneth Feld put the show together. He is the rarest of producers in that he is deeply involved in every aspect of his shows.

No detail is too minute. And after working for up to a year or so, using artists and vendors from every corner of the globe and spending tens of millions of dollars its Kenneth himself (he has no assistant or secretary) who will call you to go over a six dollar taxi receipt.

Like them or not it is a remarkable family.

"Circus family trial erupts into profane fight"

Once again, my version could be better....I read this as

"Circus family trial erupts into PROPANE fight"

I had "Asbestos MIME" last night....

/need to focus
//or drink more
///whar is my pills whaaarrr?

UncleStumpy: the aristocrats?

Yes, that would be proper usage of the term. And this is the operative sentence that makes it work:

"She testified she was able to call off the engagement after she walked in on her father and her betrothed having sex during a family vacation to Europe."

Family Circus? I love that comic strip!

we'refromthesamestory: Ms. isn't disrespectful. It's what all my female friends (all feminists) prefer to be called. I don't know where you've gotten that view of things.

Ms. is the "Relationship neutral" form of address, that neither presumes a woman is married nor presumes that a woman is single.


No, it's usually used to address a non-married woman. Also, my point was that men, no matter what, are Mr. Woman have the three.

I not Mr. Woman.

You are wrong men have at least two titles
Mister for adults
Master for those under 18

Not that I actually have a dog in this hunt, but being female, having been unmarried, married, then unmarried......I FARKING HATE MS. !!!!!

To me, Ms. is a made up feminazi term forced on women by other women. It's stupid. You are either a MISS (denoting single) or a MRS. (denoting married) You are only one or the other.

GAH.

(yes, there is a boil order at work and I have had no additional coffee, why do you ask?)

we'refromthesamestory: Sorry to sound like a loaded feminist, but there IS a reason why women have "ms" "miss" and Mrs". Miss is for young girls, Mrs is for married woman, and Ms is disrespectful in todays world. Why don't men have three different titles? Because it doesn't matter whose child they are, or whose husband they are. For woman, it used to matter a lot more, and these titles are just a memory from a patriarchal time.

I don't give a fark about being called Ms.

1. Her and her brothers mom kills her self when she was 10 her brother 9 and told to never talk about her or speak her name again.

2. She was betrothed to a boy in her her building (who her father was having relations with/this might be a clue to why her mother killed herself or did she?? Was she about to leave him and spill the beans?.


3. She testified she was able to call off the engagement after she walked in on her father and her betrothed having sex during a family vacation to Europe.

4. Her brother was given everything by the father and one has to wonder what might have the brother gone thru at the hands of the father given the info above.

So we should just refer to women by their first name, good to know.

I think they prefer "Miz" as in "De Yankees is comin', Miz Scahlett!" Or, possibly, and more historically accurate "Yas, Miz Scahlett, I got dat big chocolate roll right in my breeches dat y'all been thinkin' bout all day."

Strange, would have never guessed that by your tone on something that has no bearing what so ever. I would wager majority of time Ms is not used derogitory but people find ways to assume intent. From now on I'm just going to call everyone "Hey you"
